| An elegant OS for a more civilized age to paraphrase Obi-Wan. The menu bar allows for an infinite size target when flinging the cursor at it using the mouse. What functionality do you find missing? Usually a right/context-click or command click will get what one is not finding. By way of contrast, the Sidebar will accept an arbitrary number of files/icons, and they stay put, and if one drags into a file dialog window, it updates where it is pointing rather than performing a file copy operation (what happens if one cancels?). Anything else one wants can be handled via AppleScript. Similarly, there is drag-drop into Terminal windows, and check out how the commands pbpaste and pbcopy interact w/ Unix pipes and so forth. FWIW, I miss the (NeXT-derived) Miller-column Filebrowser on Windows, and the "Unix Expert" checkbox on Mac OS, and the right-click pop-up main menu which made some commands gestural on either. Installing via drag-drop on a disk image into an Applications folder shortcut avoids the need for a special tool to manage app installation and makes uninstalling as simple as dragging into the trash. The 2K monitor thing is a hardware/firmware/driver issue I'd imagine --- was it sold as supported by the Mac OS you are using it with? |
I love the integration with iOS and so I should probably try again and expect a somewhat steep learning curve due to muscle memory coming from Windows.
TBH I expected the monitor to 'just work' so I was a bit surprised it didn't- but apparently monitors in a certain PPI range are less suitable and make text and interface elements look blurry.
